Universal Flow Monitors offers the addition of a 4-20mA transmitter option to its lubrication flowmeter line for use in rock-crushing operations. These variable area meters now have compact, noncontact magnetically coupled transmitters as an alternative to the usual alarm switches or they can be specified in addition to the switches for signal redundancy.

Universal Flow Monitors' P420 plastic-construction, vortex-shedding flowmeters are suited for use in process water, membrane permeate, brine and corrosive fluids in water treatment, and desalination and chemical treatment applications. The flowmeters are often used as components of skid-mounted systems offered by water treatment vendors.

Universal Flow Monitors’ seven new Battery-Powered CoolPoint Vortex Shedding Flowmeters are designed for water, chemicals and corrosives in situations where there is no power located nearby or in which it would be cost-prohibitive to wire the monitoring station.

Universal Flow Monitors' P420 Series vortex-shedding flow meters are designed to meet the requirements of water desalination, chemical, and water treatment operations. The meters feature an inexpensive flow rate transmitter with no moving parts that can stick, bind, or coat when processing corrosive fluids. Applications include water, chemicals, brine, corrosive sand low-viscosity pure liquids.

The editors of New Equipment Digest go behind the scenes for a special Q&A session to discuss the development and background of innovative products. In their conversation with Erik Rosaen, Vice-President of Marketing for Universal Flow Monitors, they discuss the Intrinsic Safety option and battery-powered option added to the CoolPoint Vortex Shedding Flowmeter line.

Universal Flow Monitors now offers its Coolpoint vortex shedding flowmeters with an Intrinsic Safety (IS) option. CoolPoint flowmeters are electronic instruments that measure and monitor liquid flows. With no moving parts, the models are designed to eliminate the potential for clogging.

Battery-powered CoolPoint vortex-shedding flowmeters for water, chemicals and corrosives run on 3 AA alkaline or lithium batteries. The expected battery life is six months for alkaline or two years for lithium. They indicate flow rate or total on an LCD screen, and range in size from ¼ in. to 2 in. with maximum flow ranges from 4 gpm to 200 gpm, maximum pressure of 300 psi, and temperature ranges from 32 ºF to 210 ºF

CoolPoint vortex-shedding flowmeters have an intrinsic safety option. They are electronic instruments that have no moving parts to stick or coat, eliminating potential for clogging. The transmitter with intrinsic safety is two-wire and 4-20mA with approved barriers and no display, alarm or pulse output. It conforms to requirements for NEC Class I, Division 1, Group D environments.

Universal Flow Monitors has added transmitters to its entire lubrication flowmeter line. The three variable area lubrication meters in the line now have noncontact, magnetically coupled transmitters instead of potentiometers.

In this guide to new and updated equipment and supplies in the aggregate industry, Universal Flow Monitors is featured for the addition of a transmitter to its lubrication flowmeter line. The three variable area lubrication meters in the line (SN, MN, and LL) now have compact, non-contact magnetically coupled transmitters instead of potentiometers that can easily wear out. Print coverage is featured on page 11 of the February issue.

Universal Flow Monitors announces the addition of a transmitter to its entire lubrication flowmeter line. The three variable area lubrication meters in the line now have compact, noncontact magnetically coupled transmitters instead of potentiometers that can easily wear out. They are designed to be more durable and to be less costly than the products that Universal Flow Monitors and its competitors have offered in the past. These flowmeters are easy to install, operate and maintain.

Universal Flow Monitors announces a transmitter upgrade for its SN Series variable area lubrication meters. The transmitter is a compact, non-contact, magnetically coupled transmitter that replaces a potentiometer.

Universal Flow Monitors has upgraded its SN Series variable-area lubrication meter with a compact, non-contact magnetically coupled transmitter, which can be used to replace a potentiometer. Introduced in this small vane-style meter for circulating lubrication oil, the transmitter gives the SN Series greater durability, while incurring less costs, according to the company.

Universal Flow Monitors has expanded its website to educate specifiers and end users about flowmeter technologies. The expanded flowmeter technologies section starts with a clickable overview of flow measurement. Sixteen animations of flowmeter technologies are on the page.

Universal Flow Monitors has expanded its website to include a flowmeter technologies section featuring a clickable overview of 16 flowmeter technologies. Animations briefly show how a specific flowmeter type works, and viewers may choose a product tab or a technology tab on each animation to learn more about the technology. Detailed explanations of industrial applications for flowmeters are also available.

The P420 plastic-body vortex shedding flowmeter from Universal Flow Monitors can be incorporated into emulsion polymer blending systems in industrial wastewater applications. The coverage is on page 8 of the May/June 2010 issue.

Universal Flow Monitors recently unveiled its P420 Series vortex-shedding flowmeters, which are plastic flow rate transmitters that meet water treatment, chemical and desalination industry requirements. The flowmeters are further highlighted by a number of features including accommodations for low-viscosity, clean or dirty water-like liquids, flow rates from 6 to 200 GPM) depending on pipe size, PVC or CPVC wetted parts, and a response time of 0.9 seconds.

Universal Flow Monitors, Inc.'s FlowStream OFM Series mass flowmeters are designed for testing products for gas and air leaks during or after assembly. A user can program the meter to select a variety of gases by pushing buttons on the meter face.

CoolPoint totalizing vortex shedding flowmeters can measure, monitor, verify and control flows of water, water/glycol coolant or low-viscosity fluids. They are suitable for manufacturing and processing applications.

Consistency in chilled water flows is provided by CoolPoint's high repeatability and accuracy. An optional flow totalizer increases the ability to control the total amount of chilled water used. CoolPoint is among "Cool Products" featured in the April issue, page 7.

Universal Flow Monitors has uploaded to its website an information sheet on P420 vortex shedding flow rate transmitters. These flowmeters are suitable for use on corrosive fluids, water, brine and low-viscosity fluids.

Comprised of variable area flowmeters with flow switches, Universal Series monitors cooling water, circulating lubrication oi and other clean fluids. Units include transmitter for remote readout as well as high-amperege-limit alarm switches for troubleshooting.

Universal Flow Monitors, Inc. was incorporated in 1963. It is a closely held company owned and operated by Erik and Lars Rosaen. This family-owned business started out making variable flow switches for the automotive industry and today services concrete, defense, chemical processing, mining, wastewater, energy, electronics, laboratories, medical, and many other industries.
